356322 2005-05-19 19:58:00 I use topstyle lite for making my css, its awesome and having tried the full version realise that the free one is exactly what you need .

I also use frontpage as rough designer of the structure and a holder of the page . It can be configured so that topstyle is its CSS editor . So both programs are bing used at the same time .

But that doesn't center them . . . .

Well then you give the div a fixed width .

356323 2005-05-19 22:45:00 I use CSS to define color, and tables to define position. Why? Because thats what i know how to do, so thats what i do.... Sounds terribly lazy, but i got enough to learn, and i don't want my liddle bwain exploding now do i?

:eek:

356324 2005-05-20 00:21:00 I also recommend using primarily css for formatting and design, even if you just make web pages as a hobby. Ever since I can remember I have always laid out html pages in logical order with little thought on how I want it to be presented, with headers and paragraphs. Divide each section, and style with css. I realise that most pages I make are really similar but that's just my own fault, not creative enough heh.

I'm sure most people here know the benefits of using css over inline formatting but don't see why using tables for layout and design is a big deal, even when they hear the usual excuses (phrogz.net). I don't avoid using tables to layout a page for the 'accessibility aspects' but more for personal gratification :p

Put text-align:center; in whatever contains it. You could put margin:0 auto 0 auto; in the div but this doesn't work in IE.

356327 2005-05-20 14:28:00 The bugs (or being nice to MS "their interpretation of the standards") of IE seem to make using CSS for positioning a pain in the backside.

At least the tables will just work (well mostly) ...

I am actually surprised at that. I expected more people were using tables only...

356331 2005-05-21 05:08:00 Well stone me!
I have tried to find a ccs code that would align my css boxes for ages, and it was so simple I had overlooked it!

Congrats, now I can make totally pure css pages without any hassles.

Put text-align:center; in whatever contains it. You could put margin:0 auto 0 auto; in the div but this doesn't work in IE. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
